Nobody wants to get sick, especially with hereditary disorders. However, this book tells us that some diseases used to be the natural selection of genes because they could improve our chance of survival under specific environments. These disorders have thus embedded themselves in our genetic code. Hemochromatosis, diabetes, iron deficiencies, anemia, roundworms... these undesirable terms we are unwilling to mention are the unique evolutionary legacy of life.
